Chapter 2179: Chapter 2179: So It Was You
This voice is so familiar that everyone present was momentarily stunned by such an angry tone.
"Isn’t that Xiang Weinan?" Zhao Xi, munching on a piece of green vegetable, quickly swallowed it, "Yun, he seems like he’s coming to settle a score with you. Did you offend him?"
Impressive, really. He’s in the Examination Hall taking a test and can still manage to make such enemies. Typical of Yun.
Even Meng Yunzheng was puzzled, "I haven’t seen him for more than half a month."
As he spoke, he gestured for Xia Yan to open the door.
However, Shu Yu seemed to remember something and slapped her forehead, "Oh right, I haven’t had a chance to tell you. Yesterday, I went to find Lord Xiang, didn’t I? I mentioned asking him to help find the shopkeeper, and he suddenly got angry, saying you were collecting a debt from him."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunzheng furrowed his brows slightly, looking even more confused.
"Collecting a debt?"
"Yeah, does he owe you a big sum of money?" Shu Yu asked excitedly, full of interest.
Meng Yunzheng glanced at her with eyes literally filled with the image of silver ingots, and his mouth twitched.
Just as he was about to say something, Xiang Weinan was already striding toward them.
Seeing that everyone was leisurely sitting there eating, he was so angry that he laughed, "Quite a feast you’re having."
Shu Yu said, "Yun just came out of the exam hall and is exhausted, so... you need to be considerate and not get too angry."
Xiang Weinan shot her a sidelong glance, "I also came out of the examination hall back in the day. As for him? He can’t be that tired."
The few people present exchanged glances; indeed, there was quite a fire there.
Finally, Meng Yunzheng put down his chopsticks and poured himself a cup of tea, "Is there something you need me for?"
"Weren’t you looking for the shopkeeper? I’ll be straightforward; no need to beat around the bush. Come on, I’ll return him to you today. Manager Yun, come over and meet your old boss."
Everyone was taken aback, and only then did Shu Yu notice that there was another person following Xiang Weinan, who had been standing quietly in the background since entering the room with his head slightly lowered.
He only stepped forward after Xiang Weinan called him and then lifted his head.
Shu Yu was startled. Earlier, when his head was lowered, he seemed to have no presence. Yet, once he lifted his head, he instantly gave off an unforgettable impression.
His expression was calm, but upon seeing Meng Yunzheng, his eyes betrayed a hint of excitement.
When Meng Yunzheng finally saw him, he immediately cupped his hands and bowed deeply, showing great respect and sincerity, "Yun Qide greets Young Master Meng and everyone present."
Meng Yunzheng slowly put down his teacup and then smiled, "Oh, it’s you. No need for such formalities."
"Yes, Sir." Yun Qide then retreated back to stand behind Xiang Weinan.
Xiang Weinan sneered, "There’s no need for you to stand behind me anymore. Go, go, go, with your Young Master Meng."
Meng Yunzheng said humorously, "To be honest, I hadn’t considered Manager Yun at all. After all, he’s been your shopkeeper, familiar with the work, leading a stable life without worrying about food or clothing. Why would I disrupt his peaceful life by having him take over a new shop?"
Xiang Weinan frowned, "You really weren’t targeting Manager Yun?"
"Originally, I wasn’t, but since you’ve brought him over, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse your kindness."
Meng Yunzheng wasn’t lying here; he genuinely hadn’t intended to cause upheaval in someone’s steady life. But Xiang Weinan’s mind was too quick to jump to conclusions.
Seeing that Meng Yunzheng didn’t seem to be lying, Xiang Weinan was instantly filled with regret.
